Look, Gambit's gone now. He's been gone for awhile.

So do me and yourself a favor and let me go too. There's no real point in keepin' me there.

So the Brotherhood and X-Men are living under one roof. [Why does that sound like the beginnings of a bad joke?]

Yeah, considerin' I used ta live with Toad and Quicksilver. I don't envy ya.

[thefuzzyguy]

...Just me, actually. The X-man.

[It's very sad.]

At least Pietro's neat. I have to threaten Todd with kitchen implements to make him pick up socks.

[Yeah, first name terms.]

[dontmesswith]

Oh...Sorry.

[Yeah, it is. Kurt shouldn't have to put up with those two.

...He knows them by first names. This is NOT a good sign.]

If you want to threaten Toad, use soap and plenty of water.

[thefuzzyguy]

[Going slightly native? Yeah, maybe. Hopefully he's having a bit of a good influence on them?]

Makes a better ambush than a threat. Then it actually helps a little. He's fast.

[dontmesswith]

[Or they're having a horrible influence on him. Hopefully that isn't the case.]

He can be fast when he wants to be.

But other than that, you ok?

[thefuzzyguy]

...Not really, but we get by okay.

[dontmesswith]

[ :| This face, forever.]

Where are you, I'll drag you back home.

[thefuzzyguy]

Space? With time travel. Plus alternate realities, actually, which is really weird. Like, Wanda's here, but she's a grown-up who's really quiet about being scary-crazy.

[He shrugs, looking more cheerful again. Momentary lapse]

Kind of hard to give directions.

[dontmesswith]

[She's trying to take all of this in, but in reality it's giving her a headache.]

Yeah, very hard and near impossible.

How...why were you thrown into that place?

[thefuzzyguy]

Why is kind of a big one, but, uh, there was this ship that pulled people from all kinds of worlds und then it broke, so these pod things spit us out all the time.

[He really didn't set out to worry her. Gottverdammt. He tries to find a cheerier subject.]

Um, sometimes it's kind of cool, though. THere are dinosaurs.

[dontmesswith]

[Trying to keep up here, but the last one throws her for a loop.]

Dinosaurs on a spaceship? [Had to insert Doctor Who quote. Cue look of disbelief and shake of her head.]

It sounds like the crazy stuff that would happen on New Moore.

[thefuzzyguy]

[The dinosaurs are pretty great. And good in soup.]

If you're going to get kidnapped to another dimension I guess there's no reason it would make sense.

[dontmesswith]

[...you ate the dinosaurs?! T^T]

I still can't wrap my head around that you got kidnapped to be on a spaceship.

And from everythin' you've been sayin' it doesn't seem to be Magneto's thing.

[thefuzzyguy]

[Pretty much everyone eats them. They're just the normal animals on Verdana.]

Nein, I don't think it's anything to do with... Well, anything from home. Some of the ship people have guys just as bad as him, too. We're not that special.

[dontmesswith]

[...If she knew about this, it would be truly sad. Land Before Time]

Then what's keepin' ya on that ship or brought you there in the first place? Or are the people in charge never show their faces?

[thefuzzyguy]

Um, the ship crash-landed on this planet a hundred years ago, I think? A hundred sounds right. I don't think we're even supposed to be awake. It's just acting up.

[He shrugs.]

There are people trying to get it working, und I think that's supposed to get us home.

[dontmesswith]

...The more you explain it, the less sense it starts to make.

[thefuzzyguy]

[Shrug.]

Ja, this is my life. It's not so bad most of the time, except for missing people und stuff like that.

[But really, bunking with the brotherhood is the least of his worries.]

[dontmesswith]

[Does she really want to know about the rest?]

Think you..or any of us will be able ta go back home?

[thefuzzyguy]

[She does not. Hell, he doesn't, but that's not an option.]

I hope so. The science people here are working hard, so... Maybe.

[dontmesswith]

Mmm, I'm wondering if I'll be sent back home soon. I don't want to stay where I'm at, but my stupid mun won't listen.

[thefuzzyguy]

I'd go home if I could. Though, well, I'd want to make sure everyone else could. I have a lot of stuff I do here.

[Strangely enough. Responsibility. Weird.]

[dontmesswith]

Well, of course. But what sort of things do ya do? [Sorry, she can't really see it happening. What? Does he cook?]

[thefuzzyguy]

[In point of fact, he does, though it's not what he was thinking of.]

Sometimes there's, you know, hero stuff to do. Most days I help at the hospital und keep things running at home. Sometimes there are trips to explore stuff, so I've gone on those...

[dontmesswith]

Never pictured you working in a hospital, but you do like to explore.

[So she shrugs, but there's a small, tiny, tiny smile. She's glad he's doing well at least.] So in other words, you're the leader of the group, right?
